[ILUG] Linux PDA

[MRB]

I have a HP IPAQ H5550 (Integrated Bluetooth / WLAN) running Familiar and
IMO its not ready yet. The only way to power off the unit is to remove the
battery and it sometimes locks up .   Running 0.72 release of Familiar,
they have not released a newer version since November 03 so I have to
reluctantly go back to windows on this device.     The H5550 does not seem
to be that common so maybe you will have more luck with a different model or
make.

Good Luck
